Being a host on television seems to be all glitz and glamour. The truth is, I’m pretty simple behind the scenes. One of my favorite passions is great skin care and make up. Being simple and being passionate about good skin care and makeup don’t seem to go hand in hand, but they do! I’m on a quest to find solutions to my aging skin and love to have fun with makeup – whether it’s a nude, no makeup look or all dolled up!

My friends ask me all the time – ‘Do you really use all those products?” The answer is yes, yes and yes! What is your issue? That’s the amazing thing about great beauty – every item IS a solution for someone! My bathroom counter is a bit crazy because some days I go crazy with a great mask or peel, and some days I just use a little coconut oil to bring moisture back to my skin!

I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Disease when I was little and battled my whole life with some type of stress to my skin. When I was younger my mother would tell me just to love the skin I was in . . . and now I understand what she means. Love what you have, really be happy in your own skin. In loving my skin, the entire world of skin care opened up to me. So my suggestion is to simply have fun and try something new! No makeup at all…..yep, none.

There’s no wrong way to jazz up your routine and there might just be your next favorite eye cream around the corner.

So here goes my average day!

Always cleanse – Every day, morning, night, lunch time. Seriously, whenever I need to add a little freshness to my day I cleanse my skin. It might just be warm water all the way to a deep cleansing clean. My mom also told me to use good cotton washcloths, clean every time when washing to get a deep clean.

Hydrate – I use different creams for the different seasons and reasons. If I’m going to bed, it might be something a bit heavier and, in the day, lighter. But it really depends on my skin . . . if you need something specific, use it!

Eye Cream – Obsessed would put it mildly. My eyes are showing their age and I love using different products . . . I’m on the quest to try them all!

Masks, Scrubs and Peels – Yes, Yes and Yes. Have fun on a Friday, or after your boss yells at you, or when you just want to stay in and pamper yourself. Try new and fun ways to change things up and make yourself feel like a princess.

There are no rules for skincare, beauty or makeup. Love your skin, have fun with great products, try something new. Remember, your skin has been with you through it all and stuck with you!
